These new, young track influencer media types ask the interesting questions that make you think! And I’m here for more of it!!!

Translation: I can’t name a better one but I’ll be damned if I’m going give any credit to that one. 😂

Funny how people so often answer with their favorite when you ask them to name the best. How often are those two things actually the same?

Name a better track & field STADIUM! Not a better city, atmosphere, weather, cheaper hotels, easier to get to, more fun, or any of all the numerous other things that would absolutely make for a much better place to host a track meet! 😂 Just tell me what is a better stadium?

It often feels like track athletes go out of their way to de-emphasize competition and emphasize personal achievement. There is a difference, and track is about both. But being competitive and having a rivalry doesn’t have to be ugly and disrespectful.

The stage is set.

Watch the Pre Classic live broadcast on USATF.TV+ from 10:40 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. PT, then on NBC and Peacock from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. PT 💎

100% true Jakob!

I was there for this. Trust me
when I say these were not world class athletes! 😆 And it was still absolutely thrilling!!! Time was important. The .01 gap from 1st to 2nd.

What did the media spin? What was taken out of context? It is a fact that Jakob said the things he said and to his credit doesn’t waffle on it. Or was there something else reported that I missed?

I have 3 kids,a man and myself… keeping up our schedules is hard enough. Anti-doping please stop disrupting my already busy schedule to come outside of my slot!!!!!! I should not have to leave the movie theater or have you ride in my car to sit in the school line to get my kids

I’ve spoken with Karsten and his coach. It seems they simply see the physical limitations that most coaches and athletes accept, as something they can train to overcome.

I’m not a coach (and would probably be a bad one) but wondering if hunterwoodhall should skip the drive phase. As an amputee he may not get the same benefit. And his max velocity is 🔥🔥, so start using that weapon earlier in the race?

Another response to the people still saying “But we need more personalities in track and field!” Stop it! This is the greatest era of personalities I’ve seen since the 90’s!
